yes u'll need to buy a recharge card and refill ur account on or before 30 december to keep ur connection active. otherwise ur incoming and outgoing will be barred.

denominations available: rs.199,rs.350,rs.550,rs.1100,rs.2200 etc...other denominations are also available.

alternatively u can try the chota recharge, which won't enhance ur validity in anyway but the top up value u get it 90% of the denomination.

to activate jus send ACT HW to 144/140(free of charge)to check when is ur due for gprs send ST HW to the same no. u will recieve a conformation message that it will b activated within 72 hrs
then send HW N6600* n stands for nokia and send the model u r usin ifits 6630 then send HW N6630 to 123(2 rs. per sms) u will get settings save them and then wait till ur gprs is activated
if u r a prepaid customer u will be charged 49rs for activation and 10paise per 10kb downloads even if u download 1 kb will be charged 10 paise if u download 11kb then 20paise each wap site is around 15-20kb so 20 paise per page
content from free sites like www.zedge.no is free only transfer charges while charged apps have charges displayed+download charges
hope this helps u

i recently got a new k700i so got GPRS activated
went down to the hutch store to get it done
i was told every month i would be charged Rs 49
and apart from that i would be charged for whatever data tranfer i do i.e 10 paise / 10 kb

look up this link since iam from mumbai
iam only charged Rs 49
while it is diffrent for Kolkata and Rest of Bengal
i guess you need to clearly clarify with an Hutch Customer Service Executive
